Shop Talk – The Paper Station
by alex
I'm not a big fan of air travel (too many people in too small a space with too many bumps and mechanical noises!) but I am a big fan of the Portland airport. It's a nice, manageable size, clean and organized, and best of all, they have some great shops where you can easily kill some time if you're early for a flight or waiting for a loved one to arrive.I especially love The Paper Station – as the name implies they have a great selection of greeting cards and other paper products (I found the cutest graduation card there not too long ago).

Bishops rediscovers its soul
by shooter
After being closed for just a little over a month, Bishops has reopened its Pearl location as a barbershop. You may recall that Bishops announced it was closing the salon by sending a mannequin head and ransom note to The Mercury . There is no better way to admit a mistake than to use it to announce a change. The shop reopened on July 1st with little fanfare but the familiar look of Bishops. Stop by and get a cut and a beer.

Fez is spoiling us again. This time, he's bringing in LA-based La Bella Donna Artist , Stacy Fults, for one-on-one mineral makeup consultations and lessons. As always, there will be a free gift with purchase, a new product premiere , and, of course, lots of FEZ love. So, what is mineral makeup? Mineral pigments derived from rock, micro-pulverized and jet milled for an incredibly smooth consistency. La Bella Donna Loose Mineral Foundation applies with the flawless finish of a cream base. Mineral pigments, a natural alternative to chemical makeup, do not contain any FD&C dyes, oils, talc, alcohol or fragrance. What are the benefits of minerals? Minerals are naturalCovers, corrects, colours, and beautifies better than chemical cosmetics
Ideal for all ages and skin types
Long-lasting colour that does not crease, fade or wear away
Lightweight like you are not wearing makeup at all
Light-refractive quality that diminishes the appearance

The Other Shoe Has Dropped
by pearlgirl
We've heard rumblings about two pending business closures, but were asked to keep it hush hush . Today, via Portland Picks , Bella Moda Designs (11th & Lovejoy) announced that it will not renew its lease. A liquidation sale is planned July 1–31. We'd like to wish Catherine the best of luck on future endeavors. Meanwhile, we're waiting for the other shoe to drop—confirmation that another shoe boutique will close its doors. Stay tuned.
